Research summary
The study is looking at how ischemic heart disease (IHD) can affect your heart tissue and blood vessels so that we can work to develop better treatments and improve the surgical outcome for all patients in the future. There are two questions we want to ask: 1. Do changes in how heart cells work contribute to the progression of your disease? 2. Do the blood vessels which are used for your bypass work better if they have their normal fat tissue around them?
